Widgets, notifications, slick UI, and available on the main F-Droid repo

We already have it as a non-XUL extension, so I don’t see what your issue with it is? Just that it is not built it?

You can already install the extension and use it today. Also AFAIK the XUL extension was not local only translation

I believe it was this year that they made some great improvements in performance, so you might get a different experience if you try it again.
